no idea what that is (also not my region of the country), but leaves and plant shape can be so variable, flowers and or fruit/seed pods/etc are a much better way to ID plants

I see three leaves and I start itching...

But maybe it's a small seedling from a bird gift.

Watch to see how it blooms but don't touch it...

It's definitely something in the pea family, related to the clovers. Leaf form is classic for a member of the Leguminosae/Fabaceae

When does it bloom? What colour? What does the bloom look like? It looks like something from the legume family.

if I am seeing the picture right. If you know where the plant is and can locate it again, keep checking on it and get a picture of the flower. That will make it much easier.

There are many species. Possibly showy tick trefoil, Desmodium canadense, although the leaves on that species are usually more pointed.
